    Is this where I can whimper and whine about how I hate heat and humidity?

    I know that we really don't have heat and humidity like some do, but I'm a hot weather wimp. I always feel sticky and sweat and gross from about now to October. Bleh.

    Give me 40 degrees and a blustery (tail)wind and I'm happy. No wind and heat and humidity in the high 80's are just yuck.

    (Going off to pout for the summer, now.)

    If you really want 40 degrees and a blustery wind - come visit us in the northeast. I'll even provide a place to stay. Of course you also have to put up with the wet, and the nor'easter that is bearing down on us. Yesterday I heard a weather forecaster say that all but 2 days in May have been below normal temperatures for the Boston area. Yuck!

    Right now I'd be happy to take some of V's Hot! Hot! Hot!

    Interesting to read about all the different weather we have to deal with. I guess it's not perfect anywhere........... darn!
    We've had a cold, wet, and windy spring here in Iowa. I am ready and more than ready for the hot, humid days of summer. I know its weird - most people do not enjoy the heat, but I always have. I HATE being cold. I don't like wearing layers and layers of clothes. Let me go out the door in a sport top and bike shorts, get in a good sweaty ride, drink lots of fluids, and I am in heaven! I endure the cold weather, I don't let it keep me inside, but I live for summer! And it's getting closer and closer....... Wheeeeeeeeeee!

    Thanks, Denise. Actually, if I had unlimited funds and no responsibilities at home, I'd take you up on the offer. I'm not liking the heat I'm starting to get in the middle of the country.

    Come to think of it, though, I already have ridden in the greater Boston area (visiting relatives who lived in Jamaica Plain) and lived to tell about it. I don't think I'll push my luck and try it again.

    Stick a fork in me, I'm done!

    It is blistering hot here in Austin (about 50 miles from New Braunfels). I went out to take a touristy ride to a State Park here in the 90 plus heat. As long as I was moving, I was fine, but I just about passed out every time I had to stop at a light. I have thick, mountain girl blood, not quite ready for the oven temps. Gonna have to start riding at 6:15 am
